Merryfield Way, Storrington, RH20

REF RM1298

Set back within a mature, established plot, the approach to Merryfield Way immediately creates a sense of space and arrival. The in and out driveway allows for a natural flow on entry, while the house sits comfortably within its surroundings, offering both privacy and presence.

Despite this, the location remains incredibly convenient. Positioned within easy reach of Storrington, with countryside walks leading directly into the centre, it offers a balance between seclusion and accessibility that is increasingly hard to find.

Step inside and the tone is set straight away.

The entrance hall is wide, bright and centred around a staircase rising to a galleried landing above. It is a space that immediately gives a sense of how the house is laid out and how it will live.

From here, the layout unfolds in a way that reflects how the home is actually used.

The sitting room extends from front to back, giving it both scale and a natural flow of light throughout the day. A dual aspect, combined with doors opening onto the garden, allows the room to feel connected to its surroundings rather than enclosed. A brick fireplace with wood burning stove anchors the space, adding both character and a clear focal point. With its proportions, the room comfortably accommodates multiple seating areas, making it equally suited to quieter evenings or more social occasions.

The dining room is positioned to the rear, enjoying a dual aspect that fills the room with natural light throughout the day. Doors open directly onto the garden, allowing it to flow easily outside and creating a natural setting for summer entertaining. Generous in size, it comfortably accommodates a full dining table without feeling formal, while the fireplace adds a focal point and a sense of character. It is a room that feels both connected and slightly set apart, ideal for longer meals and more considered occasions.

At the front, a separate study provides a genuine work from home space, set away from the main living areas when needed.

At the heart of the house, the kitchen and breakfast room is designed to be used throughout the day rather than simply passed through. Fitted with a range of units arranged around a central cooking area, it offers both practicality and flow, with generous worktop space and a clear layout that works for everyday use. A range cooker forms a natural focal point, reinforcing the room’s role as a place to gather as much as it is to cook.

The breakfast area sits alongside, with space for a full table and a direct outlook towards the garden. A wood burning stove adds a more relaxed feel to this part of the room, creating a natural place to sit beyond just mealtimes and bringing warmth and character.

From here, the space opens directly into the garden room.

With its vaulted ceiling, roof lights and surrounding glazing, this becomes one of the most distinctive parts of the house. It is a room that draws in natural light throughout the day and connects seamlessly to the garden beyond.

Much of the ground floor connects naturally to the garden, allowing the house to open up during the warmer months.

A large utility room sits just off the kitchen, providing additional storage and workspace, keeping the main living area clear and practical. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a shower room and WC.

Upstairs, the layout continues to offer both space and flexibility.

There are five bedrooms in total, arranged to adapt as needs change over time. Three benefit from their own en suites, offering privacy for older children or guests, while another bedroom connects directly to the family bathroom via a Jack and Jill arrangement.

Bedroom five offers something more, with a staircase leading up to a substantial loft room, presenting clear potential for further use, subject to the necessary consents.

The bathrooms throughout have been updated in a clean, modern style, allowing the house to be enjoyed from day one without the need for immediate work.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the property, offering a balance between open lawn and more defined seating areas. The terrace sits just off the garden room, naturally becoming the focal point for entertaining, while established planting provides a strong sense of privacy.

Beyond the main house, there is further versatility.

A detached double garage is complemented by a studio above, with a car port alongside and generous driveway parking completing the practical side of the property.

Solar panels have also been installed, supporting ongoing efficiency and helping to offset day to day running costs.
